SinoPlaSan Zinc 25 mg Drops are a dietary supplement containing a high dose of zinc – an essential trace element that strengthens the body’s natural defences and promotes healthy skin, hair and nails.

Zinc: A vital trace element for the body

Zinc occurs naturally in hair, skin, bones, eyes, the liver and also the male reproductive organs. As the body cannot produce it itself and can only store it temporarily, it must be regularly obtained through the diet.

Zinc, a crucial trace element for the human body, plays a central role in numerous metabolic processes and is indispensable for functions that are often overlooked – from the immune response to basic sensory perceptions. 

The fundamental importance of zinc becomes particularly clear when one considers that our body contains only around 1 to 4 grams of zinc. Despite this seemingly small amount, over 300 enzymes in the body are directly dependent on zinc or are activated by this trace element. These enzymes act as catalysts, accelerating biochemical reactions. But here lies the challenge: our bodies cannot produce zinc on their own. It is therefore crucial to ensure an adequate daily intake of zinc, not only to support basic bodily functions but also to maintain performance levels.

Zinc is important not only for metabolism, but also for the health of our eyes, skin and hair, as well as for wound healing. It is no secret that zinc is essential for life, and yet a study shows that many people in Germany do not meet the recommended intake. Around 32 per cent of men and 21 per cent of women fail to meet their daily zinc requirements.

Who should take zinc?

As zinc is found mainly in fish and meat products, vegetarians and vegans are at increased risk of a zinc deficiency. This is because plant-based foods, such as grains or vegetables, usually contain only small amounts of zinc, and the body can only absorb it to a limited extent from these plant sources. This is due to phytate, a plant compound found in plants, which binds various micronutrients (including zinc) in the gut, thereby preventing the zinc from entering the bloodstream via the gut. So, if you follow a plant-based diet, this often means that your body does not absorb enough zinc, and a deficiency can develop quickly.

An adequate daily intake of zinc is essential for everyone’s optimal health and wellbeing; however, zinc supplementation could be particularly beneficial for certain groups. Pregnant women, older people, vegans and vegetarians, as well as those with certain medical conditions such as diabetes or malabsorption, may benefit from targeted zinc supplementation. These groups may have an increased need for zinc or find it difficult to obtain sufficient zinc from their diet. Zinc plays a key role in immune function, wound healing and DNA synthesis. A blood test can reveal whether a zinc deficiency is present and thus highlight the need for supplementation.
